Re: Lightroom Beta 4.1 - Where is the B&W Channel Mixer Conversion Tool?

2006-12-24 by Mark Stracke

When you are in the Develop Module the Greyscale Mixer controls are hidden until you 
select the "Greyscale" option within the "Basic" controls.

   At the top of the "Basic" controls panel you'll see a mode setting. When you have 
selected Greyscale (click on it so that it's lighter than the "Color" option) then you'll see the 
Greyscale Mixer controls appear, located between "Crop and Straighten" and "Split Toning"

  Lightroom's greyscale mixer is much better than Channel Mixer in CS 2. There appears 
to be a similar control in CS3, but I haven't used it myself yet as I have been bitten by the 
bug that rejects some serial numbers (mine for example). No such serial # problem with 
Lightroom at this time.
